喜びも苦悩も、乗り越えていけ

Overcome joy and suffering

誰かを好きになる時、「男だから好き」とか「女だから好き」とかまず相手の性別ををカテゴライズしてそこから選択するように好きになるのも人間の本能だと思う。でも二人のように「大地だから好き」「暢だから好き」というようにまるっと大きく人間枠から誰か一人を特別愛しく思うのも本能的な恋なのだと思う。「そんな恋はおかしい」とか「こっちの方が本物の愛だ」とか、人が人を好きになることに優劣をつけることなんてできない。身悶えするほど幸せな気分になったり、何もかもが不安になったり、自分じゃない自分を見つけたり。人を愛するってことは幸せで、同時にしんどくて、でもだからといって「やめたやめた」とはなれないもの。恋の喜びに染まる二人、そして恋の苦悩にもがく二人。学生時代、そして社会人になった二人の変化していく日常や関係をぜひ二巻通して読んでほしいです。

When falling in love with someone, I think it's also a human instinct to fall in love by first categorizing the other person's gender, such as “I like them because they're a man” or “I like them because they're a woman,” and then selecting them from there. But I think it's an instinctive love to feel special love for one person from a whole big human frame, such as “I like it because it's the earth” or “I like it because I like it because I'm fluent,” like the two of them. You can't attribute superiority or inferiority to people liking people, such as “that kind of love is strange” or “this one is real love.” I felt so happy that I was in agony, I felt uneasy about everything, and I found myself that wasn't who I was. Loving someone is happy and tough at the same time, but that doesn't mean “I stopped it.” Two people steeped in the joy of love, and two people struggling with the anguish of love. I want you to read the changing daily lives and relationships of the two when they were students and became working adults through the second volume.

凄く良かった！

That was really good!

とても自然なBLで、癒されました。本当に自然な感じで普通の男の子が普通に悩んで、普通に恋愛してるって感じました。ハラハラしたり激しい展開は無いけど、そこが良いと思いました。好きだなー。お互いが本当に好き合って必要としてるって感じがとても良きです。

It was a very natural BL and I was healed. It was a really natural feeling, and I felt that normal boys had normal problems and were in a normal relationship. There were no jarring or intense developments, but I thought that was good. I like it. It's so nice to feel that they really like and need each other.

刺さる

Stings

2巻の社会人編が琴線に刺さりまくりです。好きだけど…大切だけど悩む気持ちが辛くて痛い。大人になると楽になることもあるけど現実が見えて辛くなる。男性としての葛藤もリアルです。ラストのラブラブなふたりでホッコリ。また会いたい二人です。

Volume 2 of Working Adults is stuck in my heartstrings. I like it... it's important, but the feeling of worrying is painful and painful. Sometimes it becomes easier when you become an adult, but seeing reality makes it harder. My struggles as a man are real, too. I'm so relieved by the last couple in love. They are two people I want to meet again.

リアルを感じる

Feel real

This review contains spoilers. 学生時代の暢の恋と自覚できなくて、自分でも思わぬことを言ったりしちゃうとことか、卒業してからの大地の自分の思い描く自分と、他人に見られる自分の差異に苦しむ描写がリアルだなと思いました。好きを自覚してからの暢の大地大好き具合が可愛いなぁと思いつつも、少しの変化や異変を察知して良くも悪くも(笑)すぐ言動や行動に移して解決や改善に努める姿は男前だなぁと。そんな男前が、代わりなんかいないと涙を見せたシーンはかなりくるものがありました…！(泣)お互いがかけがえのない存在で、だけど共に生きていくことが自然のことのような関係。大変素敵でした！ありがとうございます！

This review contains spoilers. I was unaware of Nobu's love when he was a student, and I thought the depiction of him struggling with the difference between who Daichi imagined himself after graduation and who he was seen by others was realistic. Even though I thought that Nobu loved the Earth after becoming aware of his love was cute, the sight of him detecting slight changes and incidents, good or bad (laughs), and immediately putting them into words, actions, and striving for solutions and improvements is handsome. There were quite a few scenes where such a handsome man showed tears when he didn't take his place...! (Crying) A relationship where we are both irreplaceable, but living together is a natural thing. It was very nice! Thank you so much!

作者さま買いです

The author is buying

JOYの空気感がとても好きだったので、期待しつつ購入。うん、好き。こっちの方が社会的に悩んだりしんどかったりが出てくる分、深みと重みがあるのかな。外にも自分の中にも色々な葛藤にもまれつつも、最後には「好きだからいっしょにいる」ことに落ち着けるのがとても良いと思います。

I really liked the feel of JOY, so I bought it with anticipation. Yeah, I like it. I wonder if this one has more depth and weight because of social problems and hardships. I think it's very good to be able to settle down to “being together because I like you” at the end, even though you are faced with various conflicts both outside and within yourself.

すっごく考えさせられた。

It really made me think.

This review contains spoilers. なぜか途中から「あーダイチは自分が女みたいに扱われるのがモヤってるんやろなぁ」と思ってたらその通りだったので思わずウーンと唸ってしまいました。理解がない、またはデリカシーを待てない人たちは同性カップルについて「どっちが女役？」と思ったり、または直接的にきいてしまう人もいたりして。私の知り合いのゲイも似たようなこと言ってました。「周りから自分が女みたいに抱かれてるとか勝手に想像されたらたまったもんじゃねーわ。放っておいてくれや、って思うよね」って。私自身はBLは漫画としてはファンタジーだと思って読んでるのでどんな作品でも特に引っ掛かりなくサラッと読むけど、たまにこの作品のように心理の奥まで描いてるものを読むとドキッとします。世間一般的には異性でのカップルがまだスタンダードだけれど、人と人として考えるとそりゃ女同士、男同士、またはそれ以外などなど…突き詰めればこの世には色んな形のカップルがいて、愛の形もたっっくさんありますね。理解したい、しなければ、してあげないと…ではなく、普通にまるで空気のように、ただそこにあるもの…いつかそういう、なんだか幸せがそこらじゅうに転がってるような、そんな世の中になったらいいなぁ、なんて思います。

This review contains spoilers. For some reason, when I thought “Ahh Daichi is confused about being treated like a woman” from the middle, that was true, so I couldn't help but groan. People who don't understand or can't wait for delicacy ask about same-sex couples, “Which one plays the female role?” There are also people who think that, or directly listen to it. A gay friend I know said the same thing. “If people around you imagine you being hugged like a woman, it's not something you'll accumulate. I think you should leave it alone.” I myself read BL thinking it's fantasy as a comic, so I read any work smoothly without getting caught in particular, but once in a while, I'm thrilled when I read something that depicts the depths of psychology, like this one. Couples of the opposite sex are still the standard in the world in general, but when you think of them as people, well, women, men, or anything else... at the end of the day, there are many types of couples in this world, and there are plenty of forms of love. It's not that I want to understand it, or I have to do it for you... I think it would be nice if someday the world would be like that, something that is just there... it would be nice if one day there was such a world where happiness was rolling all over the place.

正しくBがLしてる

B is L correctly

そう！こういうのが好き?恋愛なんて男も女も大した差はないでしょうが、好きになれば好きになるだけ。愛されれば愛されるだけに不安になることもしばしばかと。登場人物全員が素敵だ人たちで、ほんと読み終わっても気持ちのいい作品でした

Yes! do you like this kind of thing? There's probably not much difference between men and women when it comes to love, but if you fall in love, you just fall in love. I often feel uneasy just because I'm loved if I'm loved. All of the characters were wonderful people, and it was a really pleasant work even after I finished reading it

良かった～～。

That was good~~.

This review contains spoilers. ドロドロな関係かと思ったらそうではなくて、暢がチャラそうなのかと思ったらそうではなくて、それどころか相手の事をとてもよく思いやる良い子で、読後感よしです。ゲイをよく思わない人達も出てきて、それをも、それはそれぞれの人の意見だから、と受け入れる暢、関西弁で上手くかわして、カッコいい～。

This review contains spoilers. If you think it's a muddy relationship, that's not the case; if you think Nobu is being charmed, that's not the case; on the contrary, he is a good kid who cares very much about his partner, and it feels good after reading it. There are also people who don't think well about gays, and Nobu, who accepts that it is their own opinion, successfully evaded it in the Kansai dialect, which is cool.

凄い良かった

That was really good

This review contains spoilers. 今までスルーしてた事を後悔しました。元々ゲイではない2人が学生から付き合いが始まり、社会人になってお互い違う職種につき、仕事をしながら、その時々の不安を溜め込まないで見過ごさず、2人で自分達の言葉で話し合って解決して、そしてその後も2人でと親、友達、職場の同僚に話し、周りに隠さず恋人として人生を過ごせるってなかなか難しいけど、乗り越えた2人は離れる事はないだろう。

This review contains spoilers. I regretted going through it until now. It's quite difficult for two people who aren't originally gay to start a relationship as students, become members of society and work in different occupations, discuss and resolve them in their own words without accumulating anxiety from time to time, and even after that, talking to parents, friends, and colleagues at work, and being able to spend their lives as lovers without hiding it from their surroundings, but the two people who have overcome it will never leave.

読み応えがありありです。

It's a good read.

This review contains spoilers. 読み返して、物語の余韻にヒタヒタに浸っています。うわ～そうだった、最後ハッピーだけど、途中切なくて、気持ち揺さぶられるお話だった。特に２人が恋人になってからのJAMが。付き合ってからの、同性故の葛藤に悩む大地に、戸惑う暢。大地の気持ちの揺れ動きに胸がギュッとします。暢が、すごく出来たいい男なんですよね、理性的だけど、大地に対する好意は隠さず、ただただ寄り添う。これから先、もしまた大地がグルグル考え込む事があっても、きっと暢とだから２人は大丈夫なんだろうな～と思えるラストでした。ただ甘いだけでない、ほろ苦さもある読み応えあるお話でした。最後は、とってもハッピーですよ！

This review contains spoilers. I reread it, and I'm immersed in the afterglow of the story. Wow, that's right, I was happy at the end, but it was a sad and emotional story. Especially JAM after the two became lovers. Nobu is puzzled by Daichi, who has struggled with same-sex conflicts since they started dating. My heart is tight at the swaying movements of the earth's feelings. Nobu is a very nice man, isn't he? He's rational, but he doesn't hide his love for the earth; he just snuggles up. It was the last time I thought that even if the earth were to think round and round again from now on, I'm sure they're fluent, so the two of them will be fine. It was a story worth reading that was not only sweet, but also bittersweet. At the end, I'm so happy!

感動

touching

This review contains spoilers. もっと早く読めば良かったと思いました。主人公2人の気持ちの変化がとても繊細に描かれていて、まるで映画を観ているようでした。ただのラブラブBL、ちょっとケンカしちゃったって感じではなく、学生ならではの感情から、社会に出て世界が広がってからの葛藤。どうしようもない、どう解決して良いか分からない感情がぐるぐる回ってる2人。こういう時、変に拗れず、2人とも真正面から真っ直ぐぶつかって進んでいく姿に感動しました。語彙力なさすぎてレビューとしてダメだと思いますが涙　皆さんに一度は読んでいただきたい作品です！

This review contains spoilers. I wish I had read it sooner. The changes in the feelings of the two main characters were depicted very delicately, and it was as if they were watching a movie. It's not just a lovey-dovey BL, it's not like we had a little fight, it's a conflict after going out into society and expanding the world due to feelings unique to students. They are two people whose feelings of not being able to do anything and don't know how to resolve them are spinning round and round. At times like this, I was moved by how they were both strangely relentless, and they both bumped straight from the front and moved forward. I don't have much vocabulary, so I don't think it's good as a review, but tearfully, this is a work I want everyone to read at least once!

絶対2巻まとめて読むべしです。

You should definitely read the 2 volumes together.

This review contains spoilers. 1巻は美容学校に通う暢と大地。2巻はそれぞれ社会人にあって付き合って4年の二人。暢の成長がすごい。2巻での暢がとてもかっこいい。逆に1巻でたんたんとしていた大地がいろいろ悩んでいるのが2巻。同性での恋人のぶつかる壁みたいなのが、2巻で色濃く描かれています。学生時代の友人たちは、二人が付き合っても、変わらないけど、職場って確かにいろんな人いるし、みんなが好意的とは限らないから、不安もあるだろうけど。

This review contains spoilers. Volume 1 is Nobu and Daichi who go to beauty school. Volume 2 is about two people who are working adults and have been in a relationship for 4 years. Nobu's growth is amazing. Nobu in volume 2 is so cool. Conversely, the Earth, which was easy in volume 1, is suffering from various problems in volume 2. Something like a wall where same-sex lovers collide is strongly depicted in volume 2. My friends from my school days don't change even if the two go out with each other, but there are certainly a lot of people at work, and not everyone is friendly, so I'm sure they're uneasy.

I'm happy to be able to read the love between the two from beginning to end, making my heart ache and feeling adorable. How will the temperature difference change between the earth, who is struggling with various feelings and worries even though he just likes it, and Noboru, who just wants to cherish the earth? It was a story that made me think deeply.

The story is amazing. Not too heavy, not too light. There was also a flirtatious scene and a scene where I could cry, and the overall balance was just right. I've only tried reading Melon's flavor book yet, but the picture seems to have changed. Speaking of pictures alone, I like this one better.
